Hi RJ, I think you'll want to build a larger network all in one go instead of multiple separate ones.

Try the attached version, with the curves arranged in this way you can select them all and do one large network surface.

Some discussion about making larger surfaces for things that should be smooth here:

Hey Michael, MANY MANY THX!!! THAT was it!! BOA ... - you made my day :-) - I fully agree, I couldn't select them all and press the network button - there was an error every time. So I decided to do it in small steps (surface to surface). How do you managed this :-)? The only difference I see is that you connected all curves and have just 1 curve separated so that it is not a closed one - is that true? Again, many THX (also for the links - I will study them immediately :-))!!

The curves you give to Network need to be mappable to a 2D grid, kind of like how lines of longitude and latitude on a globe map to a plane.

If you have the outer one as a closed curve, that arrangement does not map to a 2D grid but it can if it is split in half. Then you'll have 3 long lines which are like lines of latitude on a globe and they meet up at 2 "pole" points like at the north and south pole.
